...Britain, Africa, Italy and Russia and had his face badly mangled in the last of his twelve crack-ups less than a month before the German surrender. Steinhoff took over the Luftwaffe in 1966 with a mandate to "pick up the pieces" of the Starfighter scandal. He tightened organizational control, farmed out some Starfighter maintenance to private industry, which was better equipped to handle it than the Luftwaffe, and introduced more than 2,000 design and safety changes. He also urged his Starfighter pilots to "fly, fly, fly." Today, his men average 500 to 1,000 hours...
...then, the Soviets may be orbiting comparable bases of their own. Last week's Soyuz shots showed that the Russians are already capable of rapidly lofting the huge amounts of equipment required for building in space. For their space troika, the Soviets needed several firing and mission-control centers, a complex three-way communications setup and three separate launch pads. NASA officials confessed that the U.S. would be hard-pressed to match the Soviet feat, since it lacks such vast ground facilities...

Yet Pope Paul ignored it altogether last year when he failed to consult his bishops throughout the world before issuing his controversial Humanae Vitae encyclical opposing artificial birth control. Perhaps more than anything else, the resulting uproar precipitated a crisis of authority and led to the calling of the synod...
Considerable Confusion. During one synod session, Justin Cardinal Darmo-juwono of Indonesia openly told Pope Paul that many bishops privately opposed his birth-control ruling. He recognized that the Pontiff was free to use his supreme power as he saw fit, but in "grave and major matters" affecting the entire church, the cardinal said, it was only fitting to use the advice of bishops. Otherwise, there might well be a repetition of the birth-control crisis...
...fear, and one out of ten regards them with outright hatred. A majority considers homosexuality more dangerous to society than abortion, adultery or prostitution. Society's hostility toward the homosexual-particularly the male -leaves him wide open to blackmail and job discrimination. Police, concentrating more on attempting to control homosexuals than those who prey on them, often resort to such quasi-legal and demeaning tactics as entrapment. The stresses of living hidden lives create in homosexuals a high incidence of anxiety and other psychological problems...
